HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

Lupin's flesh and blood material, after losing energy and werewolf cells, turned into a handful of ashes.

Clearly, based on the mutations in the flesh and blood material, it can be concluded that what caused the werewolf's transformation was not the full moon, but the special particle fluctuations emitted from the moonlight.

Teach stared at the violent alien energy wrapped in magic in Shake's hand, lost in deep thought.

Hermione also looked at the werewolf cells that were imprisoned in Shake's hand, tilted her head, and began to think about the magic she was good at, using her knowledge of the 'junior' level magician.

Seeing this, Xia Ke did not disturb them.

She knew very well that Teach Carr had this taboo habit of not allowing himself to be disturbed when he was thinking.

Hermione, as a disciple, must have inherited this habit as well.

After placing the two magic orbs together with the Dementor's magic orb, Xia Ke began to carefully clean the experimental equipment.

After a long time.

Hermione, who had finished thinking long ago, saw that her teacher Teach had come back to his senses, so she took out the gene diagram of the werewolf cell that she had drawn in her notebook and said impatiently, "Teacher~ look, this is the werewolf gene cell information that I analyzed with my analysis array."

The werewolf gene pattern that Hermione drew in her notebook was not a spiral staircase-like gene chain, but a gene line composed of individual genes.

Based on unfounded speculation, Teach guessed that the werewolf's berserk and sanity after transformation might be due to genetic factors and the berserk energy produced by werewolf cells.

The wolfsbane medicine protects the brain, preventing the abnormal, violent energy produced by the body's cells after wolfification from affecting the brain.

But speculation is just speculation; only concrete experiments can determine whether such speculation is correct.

After glancing at little Hermione, Teach instructed Shackleton, "Shackleton, please Apparate out and select two death row inmates from the British prison."

"I will use the extracted cells and energy to conduct two human experiments."

Xia Ke accepted the order and then disappeared from Hogwarts.

Xia Ke has transcended the limitations of being a 'human' or a 'wizard', so the inability to Apparate, as set up in Hogwarts, has no effect on her.

For example, house-elves can freely use Apparition at school.

After Shake left, Teach kept an eye on Hermione's expression, trying to see if she was averse to using living people for human experiments.

The result was no; Hermione's expression was perfectly normal.

This feeling put Teach at ease about Hermione as his disciple.

Hermione noticed her teacher Teach observing her, so she tilted her head and said innocently, "Teacher, please stop secretly observing me. Magicians treat all life equally, and I remember your teachings very well."

"Besides, the human subjects you chose for your experiments, professor, were death row inmates. The criminals in prison have already been sentenced to death by law."

"So their final value lies in contributing to our magic before they die, and they should feel honored to have been chosen by Miss Xia Ke."

After listening, Teach patted Hermione's little head with satisfaction.

In truth, Teach Carr harbored a deep concern that Hermione, nurtured by the benevolent and compassionate education at Hogwarts, might become a saint.

It seems that Hermione didn't, which is good.

In chaotic times, killing the Holy Mother first is not just a meme.

Shortly after, Xia Ke returned to the secret laboratory with the two criminals.

Teach had no interest in seeing what the two death row inmates looked like; they were just subjects for human experimentation, insignificant to him.

Hermione was doing the same thing; she was currently drawing the transmutation circle she would be using on the experimental table.

Teach provided guidance from the side, and after seeing that Hermione was alright, he began to depict his own human experiment array.

"...Teacher, you go first."

In a moment of fear and despair, a death row inmate was grabbed by Teach and firmly imprisoned on the test table within the training array.

With Xia Ke's assistance, Teach extracted a trace of the alien energy and injected it into the death row inmate's body.

The death row inmate, still gripped by fear, gradually calmed down. But then, he suddenly began to struggle violently, his veins bulging and his skin starting to crack.

Ignoring the fate of the death row inmate, Teach and Hermione carefully examined the energy data detected on the scientific instruments.

And the analysis of energy mutations in the experimental subjects' bodies within the 'Decomposition and Recombination' analysis training array.

Teach was analyzing in his mind, while Hermione was taking notes in her notebook.

[Record 1: After the foreign energy entered the experimental subject, the subject's own life energy strongly repelled and resisted the foreign energy.]

[Record 2: The alien energy is extremely strong, causing irreversible erosion of the test subject's life energy.]

[Record 3:......].

Just as Hermione was writing down the third data in the notebook, the experimental subject finally succumbed to the corrosive effects of the alien energy and exploded.

With lightning speed, Xia Ke blocked the exploding flesh and blood and used magic to wrap the severed limbs of the death row inmate.

From the remains, Teach extracted the alien energy generated after the experiment on the human body: [Why did the experimental subject explode? Was it simply because the body couldn't withstand this alien energy?]

[But if they couldn't withstand it, why didn't those who were bitten by werewolves and infected die from the explosion?]

Unable to understand the situation, Teach could only put the question aside for the time being and then began the werewolf gene cell experiment with Hermione as the operator.

Hermione strapped the begging death row inmate to the testing table and then injected him with werewolf cells extracted from Lupin's blood.

After the injection, the death row inmate also began to struggle uncontrollably, but the changes that occurred were different.

The death row inmate's body underwent a change, a physical transformation.

It began to transform into a werewolf.

Finally, the transformation stopped.

When the wolf transformation was complete, the experimental subjects who were still alive died quickly and silently.

Teach looked at Hermione, wanting to know the process, or cause, of the silent death of the experimental subject.

Hermione snapped out of her analytic array, gathered her thoughts, and frowned before saying, "Teacher, in my cellular analysis, these werewolf cells, upon injection, instantly invaded the experimental subject's genetic chain, destroying all the 'human' genetic material."

"Then, using the experimental subject's own life energy and gene chains as materials, the process of arranging and connecting individual gene cells without disorder began."

"The replacement of genes caused changes in the body. The experimental subject's life energy was completely absorbed by the replaced werewolf genes, resulting in the silent death of the experimental subject."

Teach stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "So the cause of death was insufficient energy?"

"Although the mutated cells will automatically generate energy to maintain the host's vital signs after altering the experimental subject, generating energy requires first absorbing energy."

"The werewolf cells couldn't release energy because they didn't absorb enough energy, which is why the test subject died?"

At this point, Teach looked at Hermione and guessed, "Could we think of it this way...?"

"The saliva of werewolves contains a toxin that can transform a person into a werewolf, as well as the energy needed for the complete transformation."

"With the energy in this saliva, plus the energy absorbed by the werewolf cells from the body and converted into energy..."

"The ebb and flow of energy is what prevents the person being transformed from dying from the depletion of their life energy."
